All-American Megan Reynolds, Sam Szarmach and Kaitlyn Wilks each recorded nine kills for Elmhurst, which won 25-20, 25-19, 25-18.
"Megan always sets the tone. She's our go-to (player), she's our leader in a lot of different ways, blocking, hitting," Elmhurst coach Julie Hall said.
Neay Veasy Smith chipped in eight kills for the Blue Jays, who hit a 25.2 percent clip - twice as better Salisbury (37-4).
